 * Hi there, we just updated our website (plugins, themes). Immediately after update,
   I noticed that our site was loading slower than usual. As part of our update 
   protocol, we use wpboom.com to snapshot our site visually to see what may have
   changed. When I clicked on a link from wpboom to load the url in question (our“
   World Coins” product category), I noticed it seemed to be loading really slowly.
   Then I got an error message which said:
    “www.goldenruleenterprises.org says ‘
   Anti-spam by cleantalk plugin error: timeout Please, contact Cleantalk tech support
   [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cleantalk-spam-protect](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cleantalk-spam-protect).'”
 * Once I saw this error message, I remembered that (just a moment previously) I
   had noted on other urls that the site was loading way slower than normal.)
 * Yes, Cleantalk antispam was one of the updates I did today. So does this mean
   that the Cleantalk update is what is slowing down our site?
 * FYI, after this happened, I was unable to recreate the event. Our category and
   shop pages are still loading pretty slowly but the error message has not popped
   up again.
    Thank you for your time.

 * We’re seeing this to (at least on one site so far) where the site is slowing 
   down and my client just sent a screenshot with this exact same message.

 * I’m still getting the error message and I think it might be affecting my woocommerce
   store, blocking credit card purchases.
 * Since the error prompt first appeared, I’ve had a surge on the number of failed
   credit card purchases.
